Plot twist : There was a power bank inside the potato

Try using two potatoes. One positive and the other negative. Be careful not to invert the potatoes or you can produce a short circuit and fry the potatoes.

charging your phone the irish way

Potatoes don't really act as a power source, but in the first place they just go in a way that carries electricity by passing an electron current between two metal pillars. Of course not recommended, but if you really want to experiment with potatoes, you can charge electronics using a quarter of a potato boiled for approximatly 5-10 minutes.

I would rather charge my phone with a Potato than buying a charger from wish.

I just got the overheating message on my iPhone 📱📱📱

Okay, you must have two different electrodes for this to work. Unless you placed a different type of metal on one the prongs of your adapter, nothing will happen. You will also need more potatoes connected in a wired or jumpered series-circuit configuration to power and charge the cell phone. In each potato with the two different types of metal, (example: Zinc nail and copper penny placed inside of the potato) the electrodes, with a voltmeter, will measure anywhere form .5v to .8v for a single russet potato. Carefully examine the output voltage of your actual plug-in adapter. This will allow you to understand how many potatoes you will need in series to power up and charge the cell phone. joe.

Look at all these measly people living in 2016-2020 while I’m here in 2021

looking this up in case i go back in time to the medieval period and don't have a way to charge my phone

*a potato flew around my room before you came in-*

I cracked so hard when he tried to reinsert the plug into the other part of the potato hahaha...like trying another port or something.

Scientists have discovered that if you boil the potatoes for 8 minutes, it greatly increases the energy yield

It worked on my phone. Sometimes I have to ensure to seat the plug just right into the potato for it to continue charging, but otherwise, it does work.

Is someone in 2020

You have to use two magnets with copper coils around it and pierce the potato on either side.

18 million people: Interesting

Is anyone else scrolling the comments to see whether it worked or not?? If yes then like my comment

Look at the date this was posted.

My mom be like : why are you wasting the potato

That was the longest 3 minutes of my life

That usb Walwart takes 119vac and converts to 5vdc. The potatoe produces a voltage about .1 to .9 with two different electrodes, but usually lower voltage than that. The get 6 to 10 potatoes with two different electrodes in each potato and connect in series. Cut the charger cord at the Walwart, and attach it to the potato battery. Plug the other end to the phone.

Now do a " how to charge a battery using pickles " or how to convert a Bun into a power bank

Does anybody else realize the upload date of this video?........

Notice how this was made on April fools😭

If it was real nothing would stand in my way to finally live self sufficient in the woods ^^

i recommend lemon or orange because they have ions in acids ( H+ or protons) are part of the chemical reaction that helps to produce electricity.

The fact that he kept trying was hilarious!

Well, I’m not gonna say you CAN charge your phone like this but it is a fact that if you stick a steel rod and a copper rod in a potato you get about one half volt reading on a jester, oranges work better and lemons work even better. Not sure if that’s enough to charge a phone but you will get current. It’s simple science, no big deal really

*This brings a new definition to Potato Wifi*

I'm here due to a power outage. getting desperate.

How the fuck did this man think a patato would charge some random phone?

Wow thats pretty coo- *Published on April 1st, 2016*

Ireland: *it’s free real estate*

Holy smokes! this is actually real. This potato is 5 measured in voltage, an average IPhone charger is about the same. An alkaline battery is 1 VOLT. Omg your potato is majestic, With the power of 5 potatoes, you can power a door bell. Imagine a house ran on potato energy

0:53 "Very powerful potato" - Random person on the internet who is charging their phone with a potato.

YOU NEED ELECTRODES to actually make a chemical power supply. The potato contains electrolytes, which allow electricity to flow through (like lemons), but in order for there to be a voltage difference, you need materials that have differently charged ions (I think--been a while since I took chem). But even if you did manage to make a potato battery with say zinc and copper, it would be a DC power supply. Your wall socket takes in AC power. And a single potato could not supply enough wattage anyway.

It’s a good thing I didn’t bother trying this method on my phone 📲! Thanks for sharing the truth with us.

*Count of view reveals how people badly want to use organic POWER BANK* 😂😂

You need to put coca cola on the potato first

I have no power and this was my only hope. Awesome

the charger is a power bank

I remember this went viral

POV: You didn’t pay the electric bill

BaCk iN mY DaY

It made me laugh when he inserted the charger into the potato and saying it will charge I mean What the fuck A POTATO!

it's amazing thanks a lot it will help us in south Cameroon where we hardly have electricity for day.

Friend: Crap i dont have a charger Me: all i have is a potato Friend: alr that will have to do

He is using mini power bank to charge phone...

I would be seriously worried if you got enough voltage out of a potato to power that charger unit

if it didn't work in that damn video then how the hell will it work in life???

"Roses are red" "Voilets are blue" Scrolling through comments to see if it's true

all you people wanna say this is dumb but he said he was testing it out. that is how much you listen.

I have heard of people making batteries out of lemons so wonder if that may work though it would likely take a very long time

It is completely lie When you attach a phone to a charger, the screen must light up automatically, NOT manually

Now That's What I Call A Portable, Eatable, Cookable Charger

To everyone who clicked on this video, this is the part where Therapy helps. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

1:00 the moment you voided your warranty

Can we have a bigger potato i want to charge my truck

is it really working I dont think so

Omg. it's actually charging lmao I'm gonna try this 😂😂😂😂😂

I'm a potato and there is nothing that can stop me for being a potato

After keeping the charger to a potato thus it works when we keep into a pulg, please reply I want to this experiment

You can actually make it work but you would need positive and negative wires with an alligator clip as well.

guess you didnt know apple patched this

For anyone wondering... weather it worked in the video or not. It didn’t. Don’t waste your time.

Phone notification says " Sir, we eat vegetables not plug electrical shit into them. But....have you tried fried chicken. Ive heard fried chicken be lit!"🤭🤣

It won't work unless you have one copper and one Nickle pole. The acidic reaction between the two metals causes the current, it should work with a lemon as well. Try again it might work.

Fun Fact: This is actually possible

Now onwards you are funny so in front of public because of you are charging mobile with potato 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂😆😆

Wow thanks! It's 100% working. But how? The answer is my phone was upgraded from 2 gb ram phone to 4gb ram phone.

“Now introducing the iPotato for $999.99”

u blady 220 volts how the small potato gives then cut u r home's electricity line use potatoes

If it didn't work then why did you upload this video

The prongs of the plug would have to be dissimilar metals. Might work with lemons or limes wired in series, using one copper and one zinc electrodes.

I cant believe i actually opened this video 😬

All I’m saying his voice relaxes me

energy is not created it is tranformed.NOTE THAT

Me: What is in lunch? My mother: fried potato.

He uploaded it on APRIL 01,2016!!!!! #APRILFOOLSDAY

WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO ME

Everybody knows it's doesn't work anymore.. But, I can't understand.. Why 17M Views..

Mom: What did you do with my potato? Son: I was just trying to charge my phone with it! Mom: You what??

You are missing the copper wire and nails

First of all I think its fake Second, who else was here lookin for a science fair idea XDDD

I remember this stuff all over the internet

Learn2 Know2: In our next video let’s try to make a call with a seashell and some tinfoil! Me: 😶

They patched the glitch that’s why it didn’t work

Charge with corndog covered in monster be energy drink

Ok soooooo hahahA made my day.. Dint work..but he wants a like..👍 👍..hahaha I'm dieing here.

Even though a potato can be used as a battery it's only a DC battery it cannot create an alternate current because therefore would need to be coiled current along with a transistor to mimic the frequency of oscillation and if it was truly going to impress your phone will be turned all the way off and then connect the power cord because then it would automatically sense the voltage being given to it

This quarantine really is interesting

Show charging battery with your phone off!!!

Everybody reply to me their battery percentage. Me: 21%
